Day 160
PROMPTNESS
The eyes of all look to you,
and you give them their food at the proper time.
Psalms 145:15
FROM THE FATHER'S HEART
My child, I created time. Do I not have the right to decide what is the "proper" time for all things? I have never been late. What you perceive as tardiness or indifference, I call a purposeful delay — only because I have ordained perfect timing which you know nothing about. Whenever you call, I always answer. My line is never busy. When you seek Me, you will always find Me. Promptness is something I delight in showing to My children.
A GRATEFUL RESPONSE
In my impatience, Lord, I often cry, "Hurry up!" You are never in a hurry, yet You are always on time. Though I'm sometimes tardy, You've never missed an appointment. For Your patience with my grumbling, and for Your promptness in my stumbling, I give You thanks, Lord.
SIMPLE TRUTH
God has never failed to keep an appointment.
